Gravity and Earth

Front

What is the 'Goldilocks Zone'?

Back

The habitable zone around a star where the temperature is just right to support life.

Front

True or False? The closer an object is to another the stronger the gravitational force.

Back

True

Front

Which model displays the most gravitational force of attraction?

Back

Model 3

Front

If two volleyballs of the same size and mass are dropped from different heights, what will happen?

Back

The ball that is closer to the ground will hit the ground first.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Attraction between two masses.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum, regardless of their mass.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between their centers.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as distance increases?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity.
